---|---|---|---|---|
Sunitinib | Sutent | SU011248 | CSF1R Inhibitor 28 FLT3 Inhibitor 69 KIT Inhibitor 57 PDGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 30 RET Inhibitor 53 VEGFR2 Inhibitor 37 | Sutent (sunitinib) inhibits KDR (VEGFR2), PDGFR, c-KIT, FLT3, RET, and CSF1R, thereby inhibiting angiogenesis and cell proliferation (PMID: 25085632). Sutent (sunitinib) is approved for neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas, advanced renal cell carcinoma, and GIST (FDA.gov). |
Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 26 MEK1 Inhibitor 26 MEK2 Inhibitor 24 | Mekinist (trametinib) inhibits MEK 1 and 2, which potentially leads to reduced tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 27956260). Mekinist (trametinib) is FDA approved for melanoma patients harboring BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K mutations, and in combination with Tafinlar (dabrafenib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E- mutant non-small cell lung cancer, BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, for adult and pediatric patients of 6 years or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E, and for pediatric patients of 1 year or older with low-grade glioma harboring BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
